Questions are posted. Some early non-Chuck thoughts that I found ........

1. Who will say that if Surya is "such a great salesman" he should "step up" and "be the PM"? FrankJamesNicoleStefaniTim

2. Which of Arrow's team members will say, "I'll bleed for this team if I have to?" FrankJamesNicoleStefaniSuryaTim [Alternate choice: Nicole]

3. Where will the candidates meet Trump to receive their next assignment? Airport tarmacBeachMallDisneyland [The sponsors are Priceline.com and AdSpace Networks: Priceline is of course a travel website and AdSpace does video ads in malls, so it could be an airport tarmac or a mall, but I'm leaning toward the mall.]

4. Who will be Arrow's new project manager? FrankJamesNicoleStefaniSuryaTim (Probably not Frank or Nicole)

5. Which candidate will remark in reference to their project manager that, "Some people just have that spark inside them that motivates you, and some people don't"?DerekFrankJamesMuna (or Muna]

6. Who will comment that, "When Aimee tries to look like she has authority...she just ends up looking bossy and dumb"? AngelaDerekJennMuna

7. Which candidate will brag, "I am just a selling machine"? FrankHeidiJamesJenn

8. Who will say that at one point during the task they thought, "Uh-oh, we may be in trouble here"? AngelaDerekNicoleTim [EVENTUALLY, she has to speak up . . .]

9. While partaking in this week's reward, who will get injured? AimeeMunaNicoleSurya

10. Which candidate will be the next to go? Aimee[The poolside shots of Tim and Nicole sorta give away the winner, unless there's a twist, and Aimee doesn't have much support within Kinetic.]

My initial thoughts were that this is something someone says about Surya during the task, because he is acting like he is all that. But the more I think about it, it is something that is more likely said following the last boardroom and before Task 5!!!

The answer to #3 is definitely mall. Check out this press release .......

AdSpace to Be Featured Sponsor on Apprentice Katy Bachman

FEBRUARY 06, 2007 -

AdSpace Networks, owner of the largest in-mall digital video ad network, will be one of the sponsors featured in the sixth episode of NBC’s The Apprentice: Los Angeles on Feb. 18.

During the episode, the contestants face the challenge of creating an effective advertising campaign using the AdSpace Mall Network’s “Smart Screens,” 9-foot-tall digital displays located throughout the common areas of the Westfield Mainplace and Westfield Fashion Square malls in Los Angeles.

“There are many unique and effective ways to use our digital medium and we are excited to see which team creates the most impactful promotion,” said William Ketchum, executive vp and chief marketing officer of AdSpace. “This is a great opportunity to highlight the flexibility of our digital mall network and the impact that it has on consumers at the point of purchase.”

AdSpace’s network of 525 Smart Screens is currently located in 45 upscale malls across the U.S.

I was just rewatching the NBC preview (the one shown during last week's episode), and the first scene is of airplanes, then the team next to an airplane, and then walking across a concrete field, so I've changed my answer to #3 to "Airport Tarmac." The music is so thunderous that I had a hard time hearing any of the comments, but it does look like Jenn making the "bossy and dumb" comment. Finally, Trump fires someone sitting across the table to his left--not directly across from him in the PM's seat. Wish we could get another photograph of the boardroom.

The preview confirms that Surya is the one who says he will bleed for the team, and that he is the project manager for Arrow. I went back and watched the preview and I agree that Jenn seems to be the one who says that Aimee looks stupid and dumb.

So here are my up-to-date answers ......

1. Who will say that if Surya is "such a great salesman" he should "step up" and "be the PM"? Tim

2. Which of Arrow's team members will say, "I'll bleed for this team if I have to?" Surya

3. Where will the candidates meet Trump to receive their next assignment? Airport tarmac

4. Who will be Arrow's new project manager? Surya

5. Which candidate will remark in reference to their project manager that, "Some people just have that spark inside them that motivates you, and some people don't"? Derek

6. Who will comment that, "When Aimee tries to look like she has authority...she just ends up looking bossy and dumb"? Jenn

7. Which candidate will brag, "I am just a selling machine"? James

8. Who will say that at one point during the task they thought, "Uh-oh, we may be in trouble here"? Angela

9. While partaking in this week's reward, who will get injured? Nicole

You guys may have noticed that everyone's week 5 scores were taken away!!!

There was speculation that this was either a computer glitch or the fault of amateur Yahoo programmers. But the reason is that the show was shown early that week to our neighbors in Canada, and before the game closed. That gave them the ability to change their answers, even though I don't know if any of them did!!!

As to what happened to the week 5 scores with Yahoo, here is the unverified report:

THEY REMOVED THE POINTS .. AS PEOPLE IN CANADA WHERE ABLE TO SEE THE SHOW AT 6:30 EASTERN TIME AND CHANGE THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ... IT WAS A ONE TIME EVENT THAT HAPPENED IN THAT CANADA ASKED TO HAVE SHOW SHOWN EARLY .. BUT NOT REALIZING THAT YAHOO DIDNT SHUT OFF THE CLOCK TILL 8PM EASTERN TIME ..
